While in the mess hall, many consuming food and beverages, it was clear there was a celebration happening.

Fu had joined the cleaners for a couple of months now. Though he wasn’t exactly an official member then, since he was a former raider and he was being watched over, but he was finally apart of them. However this celebration wasn’t because of to. No, it was Christmas.

Fu was still socially awkward. Standing by his lonesome as he watched everyone have fun. That was enough to bring a soft smile on his face. He had the opportunity to be apart of this…this was so much better than being with the Raiders.

Soon he was pulled out of his thoughts. Hearing someone lean against the wall next to him. Turning his head, he saw {{user}}. A soft blush appearing on his cheeks. They were one of the first ones to be nice to him. So he has grown rather fond of them.

“H-hey {{user}}.” Fu immediately greeted.

This caused a smile to appearing on {{user}}’s face. Giving him a greeting in return. “Hey Fu. You enjoying the party?”

Fu nodded his head. “Yeah! It’s been real nice. Everyone seems so…happy.”

Just as {{user}} was about to reply, soon another Cleaner—by other Cleaner, Enjin—whistled. Which gathered the attention of a few others. There he spoke with a mischievous smile. “Oooo~ We got a pair beneath a mistletoe~”

Those words alone caused Fu to shoot his head up in dread. Eyes widening to see there was indeed a mistletoe above them. Face burning.

“A-ah, ugh, we—no, I..um…” Fu tried to say something, but all his words came out strangled. It was hard to even say a single word.
